On Friday I discovered that after weeks and weeks of feeling up and down in my health that I am actually not going insane and I am not a hypochondriac who see’s every cold as a death sentence. No I have actually been fighting a bout of pneumonia for around 2 months. It was a real relief to actually hear the words and finally be put onto the right course of antibiotics to get me better again. With that in mind I just wanted a nice quiet weekend at home with the girls. Quiet and children are two things that rarely go…
Valentines day is a coming, I haven’t celebrated Valentines day in a good few years now due to being a lonely old spinster but this year it is all change. I have a boyfriend (and yes I feel about 8 years old making that statement) but it means that as it’s our first Valentines day and we are still in the ever so cute actually like seeing each other phase I can make a little bit of a fuss and get excited about it.

Thankfully you were back with me within a few minutes just led in my arms just staring up at me with those big blue eyes of yours. You putting…
The holidays may be winding down at your house, but why not have one more bash? Celebrating the Chinese New Year is a great way to brighten up the dreary mid-winter months and an excellent opportunity to introduce the kids to a little culture. The festivities are always a blast, as they’re filled with colourful animal and dragon costumes, delicious food and intriguing music.
